What are the best places to stay in Montreal?

Vieux Montreal

Vieux Montreal is located within Downtown on the banks of the St. Lawrence River. It’s the city’s oldest neighbourhood, with many of its buildings dating back to the 17th century. Vieux Montreal is an extremely tourist-friendly neighbourhood due to its great selection of restaurants, bars, and shops and proximity to many tourist attractions. The historic buildings and cobblestone streets also make the neighbourhood feel distinctly French. Look at accommodation here after booking tickets to Montreal if you’re after the classic Quebec experience and easy access to some of the city’s best attractions.

Quartier Latin

Montreal’s Quartier Latin is located at the top corner of Downtown. It isn’t large, but you’ll find a lot of excitement packed into a small area. Quartier Latin is home to some of Montreal’s best restaurants and cafes and one of the city’s hottest nightlife scenes. It also has several comedy clubs and theatres to visit in the evenings while holidaying on flights to Montreal. Browse Webjet’s selection of hotels in Quartier Latin after booking cheap flights to Montreal if you’re hoping to stay in Downtown but you’d prefer a contemporary rather than historical vibe.

Mile End

Mile End is one of Montreal’s trendiest neighbourhoods that’s frequented by locals more than tourists. Consider staying in Mile End while holidaying on flights to Montreal if you want to see the city through the eyes of a local. It’s dotted with cool boutiques and cafes, ruelles vertes laneways, and incredible restaurants. Mile End is one of Montreal’s most culturally diverse neighbourhoods, and you’ll have no trouble finding a meal in just about any cuisine imaginable. The summer months also bring a series of open-air markets and festivals to Mile End.

What are Montreal’s most famous landmarks and monuments?

Mont-Royal

Mont-Royal is one of the most famous landmarks to see while holidaying on flights to Montreal, and it even influenced the city’s name. The small mountain is located right next to Downtown Montreal, and five hiking trails lead to the summit. Along the way, keep an eye out for spots like Beaver Lake, the Glades, and Chalet du Mont-Royal. The viewpoint at the top of Mont-Royal looks out over the historic city centre and St. Lawrence River – one of the most unforgettable views you’ll find while visiting Quebec on cheap flights to Montreal.

Basilique Notre-Dame

Montreal’s Basilique Notre-Dame was built in the 17th century as Canada’s first Gothic Revival style church. It has a gorgeous interior with bright colours and a tall canopy ceiling that were both progressive for churches at the time of construction. Take some time to explore Basilique Notre-Dame while visiting Canada on return flights to Montreal. Spots to see within the church include a detailed altarpiece, pulpit, stained glass windows, and an organ with 7,000 pipes.

Underground City

Montreal is famous for cold winters, so locals got creative by building the Underground City. It’s a series of interconnected shopping centres, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, apartment buildings, universities – essentially a miniature city within a city. Visit the Underground City in between your return flights to Montreal to grab a bite to eat, do some shopping, visit the Grévin Museum, or simply walk around taking in the cool atmosphere. The Underground City is a year-round destination, but it’s an essential spot to visit if you book airfare to Montreal for a winter holiday.

What is the best way to get around Montreal?

An extensive network of buses and metros will help you explore while holidaying on cheap flights to Montreal. Catch the 747 express bus to the centre after arriving on flights to Montreal. It connects Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) to Lionel-Groulx metro station in the city centre. A non-express bus also operates from the airport and makes 11 stops before terminating at Berri-UQAM metro station in Downtown.

The metro is the most popular way to travel between attractions and neighbourhoods while visiting the city on return flights to Montreal. It’s spread across four lines and offers extensive service through central Montreal and into the suburbs. Montreal also has a network of 220 bus routes, including 23 nighttime routes. The buses are a great option if you're headed somewhere that’s not accessible by metro.

Central Montreal is easy to explore on public transport, but there’s so much to see outside the city as well.
